Kick Return

Nigel Warrior: 2 returns, 54 yards (27.0 avg)
Shawn Shamburger: 2 returns, 42 yards (21.0 avg)
Bryce Thompson: 2 returns, 36 yards (18.0 avg)
Ty Chandler: 1 return, 17 yards

Punt Return

Marquez Callaway: 7 returns, 16 yards (2.3 avg)
Marquill Osborne: 1 return, 26 yards, TD

The Vols haven’t had much in the way of returns this year. No player has more than two kick-off returns this season, and nobody has been able to get off a long return. Marquez Callaway has fumbled a punt return, and he’s been ineffective when he’s been able to get off a return as well.

Marquill Osborne’s blocked punt and recovery for a score technically counts as a punt return, so the Vols do technically have a punt return for a touchdown this year. But that is probably more of a “fumble recovery” than a punt return.
